MATLAB Guide

MATLAB is an interactive system for numerical computation that is widely used for teaching and research in industry and academia. It provides a modern programming language and problem solving environment, with powerful data structures, customizable graphics, and easy-to-use editing and debugging tools. This third edition of the MATLAB Guide completely revises and updates the best-selling second edition and is over thirty per cent longer. Colour figures are provided throughout and major updates to the MATLAB graphics system are fully reflected. The book remains a lively, concise introduction to the most popular and important features of MATLAB and the Symbolic Math Toolbox. Key features include a tutorial that gives a hands-on overview of MATLAB, a thorough treatment of MATLAB mathematics, including the linear algebra and numerical analysis functions and the differential equation solvers, and a webpage at http://www.siam.org/books/ot150 that provides example program files, updates, and links to MATLAB resources.

What People are Saying About This

Nick Trefethen

My copy of this special book will live on the little shelf next to my keyboard, my little book cache, where I can reach it at any time.(Nick Trefethen, Oxford University)

Steven H. Frankel

"MATLAB Guide, Second Edition, is my new favorite MATLAB reference because it not only teaches MATLAB, it fosters a love for all things related to scientific computation. This well-written book features top notch examples, the latest MATLAB features, and offers MATLAB insights that can't be found anywhere else!"
—Purdue University

James Nagy

"Matlab Guide is an excellent reference book for Matlab programming. This new version of Matlab Guide contains material on important changes introduced in Matlab 7, including single precision arithmetic and anonymous and nested functions. The new edition also contains many more examples; readers will have the advantage of learning Matlab by essentially looking over the shoulder of two experts. This is a book that all users, new and experienced, will find valuable."
—Associate Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science, Emory University

Floyd B. Hanson

"I use the Higham brothers' MATLAB Guide as a reference for myself and my students in all my applied mathematics and computational science courses. The clarity and usefulness of their writing are major attractions for using their books. Consequently, I look forward to the very much improved second edition, as if that were possible for a much admired book. In particular, the new chapter on case studies looks quite interesting with its useful applications. In addition, new treatments of new functions and features like nested functions, ODE as well as DDE functions will be of great interest. "
—PhD, Professor of Mathematics (Applied Math and Computational Science), University of Illinois at Chicago

Linda Petzold

A comprehensive yet lively guide to MATLAB.(Linda Petzold, Professor, University of California, Santa Barbara)

Kathryn A. Moler

What a charming book! I like to think of myself as an adequately skilled MATLAB user, but I learned a lot from it.(Kathryn A. Moler, Assistant Professor of Applied Physics, Stanford University)

Zhaojun Bai

Definitely the best MATLAB guide.a lively introduction to MATLAB and a compact reference for the most popular and important features in the latest version of MATLAB.(Zhaojun Bai, Professor, Departments of Computer Science and Mathematics, University of California, Davis)

Charles Van Loan

This introduction is perfect for many classroom needs. I love the choice of topics and the examples. I see now that the only thing better than Higham or Higham is Higham and Higham!(Charles Van Loan, Professor and Chair, Department of Computer Science, Cornell University.)
